Wow. You know, as gorgeous as the tulips are I was equally enamored of the trees. Those trunks are gigantic. They must be really old. Also, I voted for your blog on the Top Garden Blogs. You deserve to win.

Mind-boggling, Tatyana! I did not know such things happen outside Holland. Years ago I saw the Floriade there... My favourite must be the white with variegated leaf... did you get a name? (Not that I can do much about it. Our springs are too warm too soon for tulips,and we have a basic pink, basic red and basic yellow available in this market, despite an excellent bulb company with strong Dutch links. I tried them once. Over and done in less than a week. Simply not worth it.) And so your show is a double joy! Thanks for posting. Jack

Beautiful Tatyana, really gorgeous pics!! I love how you captured so many of the gardens and not just the fields. This is by far my fave garden to visit, we were there over the sunny weekend with what seemed like the rest of WA state ;) I'll be posting soon and I'd love to give this post a shout out, its always fun to see others perspectives on flower festivals. Wonderful post! Cheers Julia xx
